Hello friend

I left my home country Canada in January 2020 and I've been travelling the world ever since, mostly thanks to Couchsurfing

For the rest of 2024, I'll be backpaking in Türkiye and Sri Lanka. I'm looking forward to meeting you along the way! 🙃

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I see Couchsurfing as an opportunity to enrich my life and the lives of my fellow travelers through shared resources, comradery, and spirit of adventure ‍♀️

Music, Movies, and Books

I love stand up comedy and comedy podcasts. My favourite comedians include Louis CK, Anthony Jeselnik, Annie Lederman, Neal Brennan, Ali Siddiq, Sam Morril, Theo Von... the list goes on and on.

One series/human that has really impacted me is Parts Unknown by Anthony Bourdain. I can recommend his book Kitchen Confidential as well as the following non-fiction works:

Non-Violent Communication by Marshal B. Rosenberg
Cosmos by Carl Sagan
Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan
The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle
Eating Animals by Jonathan Safran Foer

I can also recommend anything written by Yuval Harari, Malcolm Gladwell, Michael Pollan, Katy Bowman, and Jared Diamond.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've seen and done many amazing things in my life which I won't brag about here. Instead, I'll share a few unachieved goals that hopefully soon I'll be checking off of my list

⏹ Be comfortable in all situations
⏹ Get a motorcycle license
⏹ Hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu
⏹ Attend an Abe-Hicks Alaskan cruise
⏹ Attend a non-bullshit Ayahuasca ceremony
⏹ Apprentice in a specialty café
⏹ Create an unpretentious, affordable vegan restaurant, ideally on wheels
⏹ Create a massive Couchsurfing house with daily communal meals and activities

Plus, here's a few of my dream travel destinations, in alphabetical order:

Antarctica
Iran
Mauritius
Myanmar
Oman
Sri Lanka

What I Can Share with Hosts

My Couchsurfing hosts can look forward to my sense of humour and inquisitive disposition. I love to go for walks, cook vegan food, and I am happy to help out my host in any way I can. If you want to practice your English, French, or Spanish I would love to be your conversation partner. I am responsible, trustworthy, and will treat you and your home with the highest respect and gratitude

Om Shanti~
